The "Orina Armakia" from the Petrakopoulos Winery in Kefalonia is a wine that captures attention and awakens the senses. We highly doubt that anyone who tastes it will fail to be amazed by the tangible essence of the Ionian Sea and the finest vineyards of the most mountainous island in the Ionian archipelago. At the Decanter Awards 2025, it won silver and with 91 points!

We’ve said it before: Robola can easily enter into a "bras de fer" with Assyrtiko from the Cyclades, a contest that would be highly competitive. Kefalonia boasts a vast wine-making history, and with time, it continues to reveal its grandeur.

For years, Petrakopoulos Winery has made this unmistakably evident through its continuous experimental vinifications, unique vineyard terroirs, and limited bottlings, exhausting all possible expressions of Kefalonian grape varieties.

The Orina Armakia is crafted from the Robola variety, sourced from "prime" vineyards at elevations between 550 and 700 meters. Following the winery’s classic low-intervention style of white winemaking, the grapes are harvested from select vineyards, including Lakomatia, Troianata, and the pre-phylloxera vineyard of Fagia, with the majority coming from the latter. Each vineyard’s harvest is carefully timed for optimal ripeness, and the grapes are vinified separately in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine spends six months in contact with the lees, adding complexity and leaving you to wonder why you hadn’t tried it sooner.

Robola ages beautifully and evolves continuously over time. For this reason, we recommend enjoying this wine now, but if you can wait another five years, you’ll be delightfully surprised!
